Lochsa River

Last year we started a new tradition of going to the Lochsa River every spring, and so far we are in love.  This river is not only the most beautiful ever, but so fun and challenging to run! I was able to be on the river last year, but this year I just took pics from the bank.  Here is a shot from last year

IMG_4036We went a few weeks later in the season last year, so the water wasn’t as high as this year, but we absolutely loved it both times.

These are some shots from this year.  It is hard to capture the magnitude of the water in pictures, it was incredible!

This is Brian and his mom scouting the rapid named Lochsa Falls.  This drop is the most famous on this river and people come set up camp chairs to watch the rafters and kayakers go through it.   It’s a good show!

Summer adventures: Day hike

This past weekend Brian and I decided to head up to the mountains for a day hike. The weather has been a little cooler so we felt it was a great time for it. We didn’t plan a particular trail ahead of time, but the one we found up there was amazing! Being five months pregnant, it was a little more intense than anticipated, but worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
